Article links for summary presentations - group 2.

The students doing the article summary should put a link to their chosen article in this thread before Saturday Morning along with a list of useful Economic vocabulary from the article (at least 5 words) and their French translation. The rest of the class should read these articles before class on the Wednesday.

Failure to do so will be punished.
